Tuxie Tuesday

Mom said I have a gift for layin' around in this thing a few days before I have to use it for transport. I mean my PTU. I was in it lounging yesterday. You can see my wee little teefs shining out too if you look closely. After a trip to the v-e-t, I won't go near it for weeks!

I only need to get my claws cut. They are like swords on top of needles. I know mom wishes I would let her do it but I would apply my teefs to her hand of she tried. I'm a sweetie except when someone is handling my paws for claw cutting.

I clicked on the photo so I could get a better look at your teeth. It almost looked like you were smiling a bit.

Just remember that there are worse things to visit the vet for than nail-trimming. Too bad you don't let it happen at home. But, you are like most kitties and it is too scary to have people cut your nails.

I doubt very much that Gracie or Millie would hang out in one of the carriers even if we had room to keep them in the house. Gracie doesn't mind trimming, it's picking her up that is the problem. Adorable photo of you, Katie!

Oh Katie, you are so cute in your PTU! We understand about the claw trimming thing. Some of us will allow mom to trim our claws and some of us have to let the vet do it. And then there is Fiona...she won't let anyone touch her toes!!!

Tuxies are awesome indeed, Katie! And you're also right that all feline brothers and sisters are magnificent. :) NONE of my four gorgeous kitties like getting their claws trimmed. We let the v-e-t do them too. It's the smart thing. Have a wonderful Tuxie Tuesday!

Mommy clips all our nails (doggy, kitties, bunny, guinea pigs!). Tutu used to bite Mommy when she does but Mommy is very firm and just keeps clipping. When she's done, we all get a treat so after a few times, Tutu got the idea that if she cooperated, nail clipping is done very quickly and she gets a treat! Now she just lies on Mommy's lap (like the rest of us). :)

I do think that's a tuxie thang. Miss Jack will run (something she doesn't normally do) when she sees That Woman put her up close glasses on and get the nippers. Even though we all get treats if we are good during our mani's Miss Jack (who is truly the sweetest cat ever all the time) does nothing but growl during the procedure. If she feels the whole thing is taking too long she will indeed apply the fangs or just take her paw and whap That Woman in the face! *usually with the 'untrimmed' paw! Makes me MOL so much! I'm gusty, you know that, but Miss Jack, the sweetest little rolly ball haul off & whappin That Woman! Makes me wish I could operate a video camera!

Mmmmm, tiny teefs! I am furry happy to know you would apply them when need be. You know, it really is nuffing short of an outrage that the Humans feel the need to interfere with the natural life cycle of our fantabulous claws, which miraculously regenerate and then shed the old one. My Human finds the old ones sometimes and she just says, "Huh" and throws it away. What blasphemy! They should be treated as sacred relics. My Human just has no respect, that's all. Sigh. Shall I come over later and lick your poor little clippied paws???

We do that too if MomKatt brings it up & leaves the flap down/open. Sometimes we "let" her catch us, if the right cat is in the carrier. My brofur, Feisal, used to love getting into any type of carrier or suitcase ....

I am Queen of All Tennessee and Neighboring Lands. I am a regal feline who rules over all I survey.
I received my Ph.D. in Advanced Fancy Feastology from Tuna Pounce University (TPU) located in fabulous Fur Vegas.
I am currently single and living at my palatial estate in the mountains. I have a dedicated staff of human servants who try to please me. If they are fast enough with the milk saucer, I offer purrs.
And, for the record, I am opposed to the concept of vets and I adamantly oppose being transported to vets for the nefarious purposes of shots and/or baths.
